in the really recent past. when scott brown was running for re-election against elizabeth warren this past fall, he did pretty much everything in his power to convince the citizens that he wasn't really a republican, that that little "r" next to his name just stood for really nice guy. it doesn't stand for republican. it stands for reformer or bipartisan. >> listen, i'm the second bipartisan in the united states senate. i was recently named as the least partisan senator. we need to sit down in a room in a bipartisan manner. the only way we are going to get it done is to work together in a truly bipartisan manner. >> he ran as far as he could from the republican label during his campaign. there were a few select republicans that scott brown would allow himself to be associated with in his campaign. there were just a handful of republican senators. scott brown was apparently so chummy with that he was willing to tote them around massachusetts with him. >> what an honor it is to be with you today. you know, i'm here because of my great friendship with my colleague, senator scott brown. >> susan co

's an ordinance came after mr. wiener's office -- scott wiener's office. they decided to convert all the coffee shop because a coffee shop -- it has very bad -- you can't cook the food. you only have to be wrapped in aluminum foil or plastic and displayed. you cannot cook on the premises. now with starbucks and the other companies tried to change that and they went there and we change to three items. one call it a coffee shop. if anybody before march -- i think march somehow -- if you have a coffee shop, bonified coffee shop you are already a limited restaurant which means you can cook but only certain seats. my client has 15 seats and put the hood in there so he went there and did the second permit and they appeal it and we under the appeal until december the seven. we will have it in front of you. automatically went there they talked to my client, and the neighbor went there and over here and move it this way, so my client has no idea what he's doing because he's a cook. he's not a contractor. they moved the work in front of their building. i took a picture. i am a general contractor.

a chance to reconsider that vote for scott brown was two and a half years later, and in that election, massachusetts frankly ree investigatored to form and picked the democrat. they picked elizabeth warren to oust scott brown from that senate seat he held for less than a term. the elizabeth warren/scott brown race was pretty close by massachusetts standards. the margin in the senate race, this election, had the democrat winning by eight points, which sounds like a lot in a normal state that would be a lot. but in the presidential race, the democrat won the presidential race by a heck of a lot more than 8 points. the democrat won by 23 points. and that is a fairly normal margin by which democrats beat republicans in the state of massachusetts. so given that, scott brown losing by only eight can be considered kind of a victory. it's at least pretty close. and after that loss, that scott brown loss, and than credibly-expensive and hard-fought race, immediately thereafter, republicans wanted to talk about how to get scott brown back to washington. and now today to them it seems so close t
